Troop 31 of State College, PA, strives to achieve the three aims of Scouting: growth in moral strength and character, participation in citizenship, and development of physical, mental, and emotional fitness. We offer a variety of trips and experiences including camping, backpacking, canoeing, high adventure, mystery trips and other outdoor activities.
Troop 31 is supported by our strong Scoutmasters, ASMs and troop committee which has over 20 adults who volunteer their time for a variety of tasks. Parents are always welcome to attend any Troop 31 event and are encouraged to be active in our troop.
